Likewise, with implicit weakening, nothing stops you from dropping the socket without closing it.

How do you know the number/proportion of users who run without telemetry enabled, since by definition you're not collecting their data?

(Not imputing any malice, genuinely curious.)

"She's suspicious" can mean either that I suspect her intentions or that she suspects someone else's intentions.

> Starting at version 14, PostgreSQL supports generated columns - these are columns that are automatically populated with an expression when we insert the row. Sounds exactly like what we need but there is a caveat - the result of the expression is materialized - this means additional storage, which is what we were trying to save in the first place!

I mean… yeah. When two people are peers and comparably well regarded, and one is elevated above the other and enjoys increased popularity, familiarity, and respect, and the elevation is because that person's name comes from a culture that is more aligned with the dominant culture and easier for them to engage with… that is a pretty textbook example of systemic racism.

I'm not at all saying this to demonize Kenton. We can make mistakes and reflect on them later, and that's laudable. But it is important to recognize these systems for what they are, so that we can notice them when they happen all around us every day.

For first names… Jo, Ty, Al, maybe?

(I have not read this article closely, but it is about the right concept, so I provide it as a starting point since "readability" writ large can be an ambiguous term.)

This fits quite naturally in Rust. You can let your mutex own the pair: locking a `Mutex<(u32, u32)>` gives you a guard that lets you access both elements of the pair. Very often this will be a named `Mutex` instead, but a tuple works just as well.

The rest of the sequencing details follow from this idea.

I am not sure how much this improves code readability in practice—I see chan struct{} frequently, but I cannot recall ever having seen chan T for a zero-sized T other than struct{}.
